I FOUND THE ANSWER!

reproducibles ...$13.00
Skimming is often considered a skill possessed by more sophisticated readers; however, we believe the technique of skimming is a skill worth developing in poor readers since it can take them past many of the words that they can't read. I Found the Answer! includes several reading passages and related questions to help the students develop their skimming skills. They learn how to look for details as they are skimming, as well as to look for key words in questions in order to locate an answer more quickly. The second half of this unit puts their newly-acquired skills to use by teaching how to skim for answers, write lead ins for answers, and answer questions in complete sentences.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH THESE KIDS

reproducibles ...$18.00

We took information from a poll and developed some interesting reading that deals with why couples have children; the effect working mothers have on children; what it is like growing up as an only child or in a large family; how young people spend their spare time and more. The text focuses on adolescents, and provides a page or so on the results of the poll. The results are followed by one or two personal accounts written in the first person. The accounts range from a girl who finds herself locked in a cell at a detention center to the account of an elderly man who fears the tough looking boys approaching him mean him harm. Worksheets contain hundreds of questions and family problems.

 

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS ADVICE?
reproducibles ... $14.00
This unit is a junior version of Dear Abby. Thirty troubled youngsters have written letters to their peers. The all-knowing peers answer the letters. Naturally, the troubled youngsters are having problems with their peers, their teachers, their families, their friends, and anyone else who happens to pass their way. It’s up to your students to determine whether the advice given by the peers is good advice or bad advice. There’s one worksheet page per letter that covers vocabulary, tests comprehension, and has open-ended, thought-provoking questions that provide an opportunity for the students to express some of their own feelings.

MORE WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS ADVICE?
reproducibles ... $14.00
We concluded that if Hollywood can put out sequels that have XIVMCI after the title, we can put out a sequel.  We've been astounded by the sales of What Do You Think of This Advice?; therefore, we figured teachers, students, and guidance counselors could use some more letters to and from peers.  The advice varies from the good to the bad to the "you've got to be kidding." If you've put a sign on your door explaining that you're no longer in your classroom due to lack of interest, lack of energy, and lack of id and ego, this unit is thin enough to slide under the door when you hear, see, or smell the Tumultuous Terrors headed for your territory.
